“It’s a new year and a new decade and we want to have an informal, on-the-record conversation with reporters and opinion leaders to talk about where we go from here,” said Mason, who joined the URC in mid-2009 after a long career in economic development, most recently as senior vice president of the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
